What is reputation?Its a system under which your posts can be rated by other fellow members. At any time you have a certain amount of reputation, which determins reputation status.

What are the possible reputation statuses?

Here's a listing (number of reputation required is on the left). Of course, this is all subject to change at any time.
-999999 User is infamous around these parts
-50 User can only hope to improve
-10 User has a little shameless behaviour in the past
0 User is an unknown quantity at this point
10 User is on a distinguished road
50 User will become famous soon enough
150 User has a spectacular aura about
250 User is a jewel in the rough
350 User is just really nice
450 User is a glorious beacon of light
550 User is a name known to all
650 User is a splendid one to behold
1000 User has much to be proud of
1500 User has a brilliant future
2000 User has a reputation beyond repute


How does one increase reputation? (You cannot decrease a reputation/give a member a negative reputation)

Next to each post there is a "rate" button

. You can click on it and rate a post. When you approve a certain number of reputation will be altered in the user's rep who made the post. You can also leave a comment to explain your rating - the user will be able to see your comment and your name - reputation, unlike blessings, are not anonymous. Finally any scheme of "you rate me good, I'll do the same for you", will result in a long ban without warning.

How is determined the number of points that is given by a rating?

Whenever someone gives a rating, they go through a series of checks to determine "reputation altering power". The total of these checks is how much reputation is altered or added. Here are some examples:
-For every 365 number of days, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
-For every 1000 number of posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
-For every 100 points of reputation, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power.
Additionally users with very little post count or users who don't have many rep points will not have any reputation-altering power altogether.


For every 365 days registered, you gain 1 point of reputation-altering power*.

For every 100 posts, users gain 1 point of reputation-altering power*.
You must have 100 posts before your reputation hits count on others.
You must have 100 reputation points before your reputation hits count on others.
You may only give 10 reputation clicks per 24-hour period.
You must give 20 users reputation clicks before you can hit the same person again.

Here would be an example: Lets say you have 300 posts, have been registered for just over a year and have a reputation of 100.

300 Posts: 3 Points
365+ Days: 1 Point
Rep of 100: 1 point

In this example, when you click this icon in someone's post, you can increase that person's reputation 5 points. You may only do this 10 times per 24-hour period and have to hit 20 users before you can hit the first person again.

How to check how many reputations you gave out:

Go to your User CP. At the bottom you will see a grey bar with the title "Reputation Click Tracker". If you see on the left side of this grey bar a "plus" sign, click on it. You will see a message telling you how many reputation you gave out and how many you can still give during the 24 hour time period. Example: In the last 24 hours, you have given reputation to 5 posters. You can give reputation to 5 more posters today.

How to view who gave you reps:

In your User CP - under the "Reputation Click Tracker" you can see "Latest Reputation Received". If you see a plus sign in the grey bar, click on it and it will display the list with four columns:
On the very left (under Thread) you can see in which thread you got repped. Click on the name and it will show for which post you received the reps.
Next is Date on which you were repped. The third column (posted by) tells you the name of the user who repped you.
And on the very right you can see the comment the user send you. If you don't see a comment than the user did not send any comments along with the reps.
